There is a problem in httpd.conf or mailman. Either

ScriptAlias /mailman/ ...

doesn't point to the mailman cgi-bin/ directory or it doesn't contain
the wrappers.

What does the web server error_log say?

Sendmail is using smrsh and is unable to execute the mailman wrapper.
Do you have a /etc/smrsh directory? Does it contain a symlink from
'mailman' to '/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman'. See item 3) in
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp>.
